Gen. Iathaz: "There's no use playing stupid; we know it was your men who tried to cripple our colonization efforts. The Sons of the Grox have made it clear that they no longer have intentions of destroying us, so they are much less likely to attack our ships than you are; which leaves you and your men as the only remaining explanation.

As for your armed scouts: it's understandable that you would want to send them with some form of armament, just for safety, so no. we aren't referring to your scouting team, however it is rather peculiar as to how heavily armed they are, which is another reason for us to be suspicious of your activities in our sector..."

Gen. Iathaz to Sons of the Grox: "Sons of the Grox: we would like to formally accept the apology you gave us earlier for attacking us. We still can't be fully certain that you don't mean us harm, but we have a proposition for you to prove yourself. General Armin's 31st Regiment has had some rather suspicious and aggressive activity recently, and we fear that they may eventually begin to attack us -- or you, for that matter. Our proposition is fairly simple: if the 31st regiment exert further hostility towards us, you will aid us in defending our territory and our men; and if the 31st regiment attacks you, we will offer you as much help as possible. do we have a deal? take your time in consideration, but just remember a quicker decision to agree will lead to quicker safety for your empire and mine."

((OOC: yeah, i guess the troops is understandable. i should keep track of that myself, though, since i'm kind of curious as to how many armed troops i have lol.))

IC:
Gen. Iathaz to Gen. Armin: "Why, after absolutely NO provocation, do you continue to try and harm us? The only damage we have done to you was in self defense when you attacked us for, yet again, no apparent reason. As we stated before, we are a peaceful race, but be sure that we will fight readily if we are threatened. We do not desire to destroy empires, since we have been on the brink of extinction ourselves for quite a time now, but we really have no idea as to why you would want us gone. so why? please, tell us why, so that we may find some way to coexist."

sounds right to me, blaster. you might want to keep a notepad document or something of all the spice ports each person has so you can tell how many points they have each turn lol. Oh, and you should do the same thing to keep track of how many units each person has. speaking of units, might as well pick some more up

starting turn with 19pts

Gen. Iathaz to other Halanean Military Leaders: "Well, we seem to be doing alright now. We had better beef up our defenses a bit more just to be on the safe side ((-2pts on 10soldier/2vehicle)). in addition, i think we had better start expanding. the other local empires have taken quite a few of the planets, so we had better start expanding ourselves before we have to start fighting for new land. Our scientists have assessed several planets, and find Schen to be rather rich in spice, so let's head over there and see if we can increase production ((-2pts to colonize Schen, and -15pts for fort on Schen*)). Hopefully we will be able to set up some defenses before a possible conflict with the 31st regiment."

*((OOC: Blaster, you can go ahead and set up the fort however you like. please use the buildings you used for my metropolis: the Quonset Huts, Generic Building, Outpost V2, Radio Telescope and the Outpost Wall. also, some sandbags to make it tougher to get around would be nice.))

0pts left. Halaneans now have control over planet Schen.

Asi Asi...

lol, i've only had 4 Spanish classes in my entire life, so my conversation skills are somewhat limited

edit: lol, i can't remember how to make the upside down question mark

*cough cough* chatroll, anyone? *cough cough*

Ooooh, okay. mai bad, once again. i can be a little bit dense at times

IC, in response to this post:

Genral Amin to the halanians:look, they have made it clear that they are willing to pay for peace, there for as long as we dont push it to hard we can keep getting more and more money out of them, and if they try and attack back agian we can crush them like we did last time, see i did it in your interest. also since The Emperor as expressed his interest in this sector, i would not be surprised if we soon get ordered to make sure there is perfect peace here, alliances would be preferable but if anyone refuses we will have to...remove them.

Gen. Iathaz: "That payment for peace was before your attempt at framing us. we're not interested in trying to get money out of them, and do not have any interest in "crushing them like we did last time". we are a peaceful peoples, and only go to battle when it is a necessity. We are also upset that you thought this would be an action in our interest -- making it seem like we attacked them, when we can't defend against their fleet by ourselves? that doesn't seem logical; it seems suicidal. i concur with your Emperor: alliances are preferable, but seeing as this is our home system, we will not be removed by force... at least, we won't go quietly."

((OOC: okay, i'm gonna crash. i'll talk to you guys tomorrow. g'night

))

wait... which post are you talking about? i'm talking about the one on page 10, that originally read as follows:

That means i have 14 spice, right?
if yes:
"Sir, the halanians have attacked our spice port!"
"Perhaps they have not yet forgiven us? send them some [2 points] more spice."
"yes sir, what of the rest of our spice?"
"spend some [1 point] on fixing our damaged spice port. Then build 3 new ones. [6 points]. save the rest."
"very well sir."

then he edited it to read "ignore this post

".

is that the one you're talkin' about, or a different one? i'm assuming a different one, i'm just not really on the same page as you...

my bad... but still, that post didn't count because he'd already made his turn that round.

((OOC: lol, my bad on the typo... i was going back and editing a lot of that message before i posted it so it sounded better... and you told Shadow that the post he made about sending the Halaneans spice couldn't work because he already spent his points

))

EDIT: hey guess who, just broke 800 posts

cool beans, and thanks for the whole letting it stay for a while thing

. as for the buildings: i realized right after i sent you the mission that none of em were shared... my bad

i just uploaded them all, so now they should be there. if they don't automatically show up in game, the buildings are titled "Quonset hut", "Radio Telescope", and "Generic Building" on my spore page. RP time!

Gen. Iathaz: "General Armin, you are correct. you have lost our trust, since that little stunt with the disguised ship attacking the Sons of the Grox... a poorly disguised ship, i might add. we are sure that was your doing, seeing as the only 3 groups capable of such actions in our local space are us, the Halaneans; the Sons of the Grox, but they wouldn't attack their own buildings; which leaves you, and the 31st regiment. you can't hope for such a blatant, unprovoked attack like that to just be ignored, and the Halanean Alliance has no intention of ignoring it. As for something important here, we don't have any reason to inform to you topics of interest in this sector. now i suggest that if you want any sort of peace to be achieved between our two races, you had better make it clear to the 31st regiment that the attack on their spaceport was your doing."

starting w 17pts

Halanean Radio Telescope Operator: "sir, it seems as though a ship with Halanean markings has attacked a space port on the sons of the grox's homeworld... what do you propose we do?"

[o]Gen. Iathaz:[/i] "Well, we don't need them attacking again... send them a message telling them it wasn't us ((-2pts as gift to Sons of Grox)). Seeing as the only other people in local space are the 31st regiment, it must have been them... Stop sending them spice immediately, and maintain surveillance on their planets. Watch for any signs of preparation of an attack ((2pts on special thing to know a turn in advance when the 31st regiment are attacking)). I have a feeling we'll be experiencing more combat in the near future, so we'll have to further strengthen our defenses ((-3pts on 15soldiers/3vehicles)). Other than that, i think we better just sit tight and see what happens. Oh, and see if we can begin trading with the Sons of Grox to try and improve our relations ((-10pts on investment)). The last thing we need is for the Sons of Grox AND the 31st regiment to be gunning for us..."

0pts left.
